Zolst azoy lebn

Traditional, arrangements Christophe Hoarau, Paul Mindy
Performer Norig Recher

Madam, take care and enjoy yourself
While I rock your baby

Ay lyu lyu, shush, shush, shush!
Your mother has gone out
Ay lyu lyu, sleep my child
She’ll be back soon!

Enjoy yourself, and what of me then?
Your mother is working in the street

Other girls dance and have fun
And I have to sing and rock the baby!

Other girls get to eat sweets
And I have to wash diapers!

Zolst azoy lebn un zayn gezunt
Vi ikh vel dir un vign síkind

Ay-lyu-lyu, sha-sha-sha !
Dayn mameshi iz gegangen in gas arayn
Ay-lyu-lyu, shlof mayn kind
Di mameshi vet kumen gikh un geshvind!

Zolst azoy lebn, Síligt mir derinen
Dayn mameshi iz gegangen in gas fardinen

Andere meydelekh tantsn un shpringen
Un ikh muz dem kind vign un zingen!

Andere meydelekh tsukerkelekh nashn
Un ikh muz dem kinds vindelekh vashn!
